Unintended consequences

By the time he was dressed he was just about ready for his first cup of joe.

He walked down to the nearest eating place and ordered breakfast, plus their largest coffee – black.

The eggs were good, the bacon too and though the coffee was only adequate sadly it just had to do.

He got out his phone and called his partner who must have been waiting for him as he was there in minutes. He too had a coffee – black.

He put some money on the table and they both left.

So far it was still a good day.

Things change and sometimes in the least expected way.

They got in his partner’s car and his partner pulled away from the kerb.

They both heard the loud grinding noise a lifetime before they ever saw anything.The force of the out of control wagon drove their car right over an embankment and down a four foot bank into deep water.

Had they not been killed by the crash they would have drowned anyway as the car was buried in the mud at the bottom of that particular gravel pit by the weight of the wagon on top of it.

Thoughts

The answer to almost everything can be found in better education. Open your eyes and really see the world through them.

Read too many books, not possible is it? Hear too much music, not likely either.

Always look for the good in people, but remember, sometimes you may have to delve quite deeply. Also remember that kindness is not entirely its own reward...we all have to eat. That's eat...not over-eat.

Try not to hurt people. You wouldn't like it would you!
